I think it's time we start recognizing those who play admirably and who define what it means to be an honorable opponent. Today I played against several groups of people who despite getting completely destroyed stayed and finished the match. There were also those I've met who congratulate me even when they lose badly and still tell me good game

What I would like is a way to +1 these people somehow so the world can see just how awesome some members of the community are

So... Like a COD "Like" button for players? I would support that, provided there was no way to "boost" it. You would also have to make sure tat there is no "Dislike" button,because then it would promote even more negativity.

Had a match last night, this dude went like 27-6 in a TDM. He started talking smack at the end, not over doing it, but just pointing to his score. I told him he played a good match and he immediately quit.

I've seen this also. Not sure why that is, from a psychological standpoint. Narcissists would be eating it up, because of their inability to empathize with others and it being "all about them" in their little world of their mind. So busy patting themselves on the back they pretty much ignore all else -- so narcissism must not be it exactly.

Perhaps it's as simple as "they feel guilty" for smack talking in front of someone being genuinely "likable" and showing good sportsmanship.

I always amazed the phenomena that is everyone screaming out their Ks on game chat at the end of a match. Happens ALL THE TIME! There's often times that I'd like to get a word in about the next game but can't because 6 or 7 people are screaming overs each other for attention.

I completely support this suggestion. It would be such a small thing to add to the game (you can already "like" peoples' emblems and theater files) which would require next to no bandwidth, but would go a long way towards fostering good sportsmanship in the games.

In fact, further suggestion: quitting a game in progress (only after you've spawned in at least once) would automatically subtract 1 from your "likes", even taking the ranking down to negative numbers when necessary. This would not apply to disconnects/dashboards...they would still fall under the current suspension system.

Of course, they need to restrict it to one vote per PS3 (per 360, per PC), but the ability to show a player card for "Prestigious Sportsmanship" would carry more weight with me personally than anything else an opponent would care to display.

As you have stated, the only place they should be able to receive this vote is after the match.

that is a great idea. One thing i hate more than a sore looser is a DB winner. I was playing a 4v4 league match once and it was CTF and there was a 4 person clan vs me and 3 random's well the clan did the typical spawn trap and cap strategy and wouldn't you know it before the first round even ended all 3 of my team mates quit the game well me being the type that doesn't like to quit games stayed and played 4v1 and while i did not win the match due to the fact that i could barely get away form my spawn i still stayed and put a fight anyway i ended the match with the highest K/D in the game and was proud of my self for making it through the game alone but as soon as the match ended i got bombarded with the "you suck bro!" and "we kicked your a**!" and lots more insults that were not called for as it does not take a lot of skill to be a DB after going 4v1 in a game where my looser teammates can not be replaced upon leaving. I just quietly waited to return to the lobby reported them all for their language and their emblems as of course they were the typical childish nudity emblems and then proceeded to leave the lobby with out as much as acknowledging them.

That's why I wouldn't allow more than one +1 per person. So if you have a friend you can't +1 them and if you find a random person you can't have them +1 you more than one time. Also I've been thinking about only being able to issue six +1's a week or something. That way you don't those who just spam them, we know how the community likes to spam

You would have to limit each console though as boosters would just create loads of dummie accounts to issue likes to each other. However I do think this is one of the best ideas I have heard in a very long time! it's nearly as good as the implamentation of the mute all function.

Creating a dummy account means you have to create a new email, find a new user name, and go through all that. It's a lot of effort

A better solution (maybe) might be allowing the ability to +1 after prestige for the first time. That takes a ton of effort and if someone is willing to go through all that to boost +1's then go for it

That could work but the only problem issuing a limit is that I have come across many players that I believe would deserve a +1, however if I had issued it in a previous game I would not be able to issue it again. Maybe limit the amount of times one account can +1 another to once. This way people who deserve getting a reward for sportsmanship would get it.

I was on last night 6 v 6 on Domination. Everyone except me left in first half. Started 2nd half on my own. Match ended about a min or so into 2nd half. I killed someone then was immediately killed straight after them, then game ended. Don't think it was cos of score so don't know why it ended. I wanted to see how well I would do on my own just for a laugh, haha.

I have a clan member who's a great player, the type who always has the most kills and most caps while keeping his deaths low. He has a poor mental mindset though and always needs to make up excuses, not because he's a sore loser but it helps keep him calm.

After the game he say good game and give props to those who need it, but during the game you sometimes have to mute him

a way to +1 people would be pretty cool., a like button would be a decent idea. i was in a lobby today where three people on my team told me "good game". that surprised me. i can't remember that last time i heard those words ANYWHERE in a lobby. it was odd... but kinda cool.

Even when faced with a horrible connection there are those who still say good game and such. Today I played against a 12yr old kid from New York. He was the most positive person I have ever met. We completely destroyed him and his 20+ teammates that came and went throughout the match. He stayed through it all

After several matches of him being on the other team and losing he started to do better and eventually gave us a real challenge. We picked him up after that game because he was fun to have in the party. It didn't matter what the connection was, score, or anything. He played to have fun and would have more than deserved a +1

this is a great idea, a reputation meter kind of thing, i havent read the whole thread so if no one has mentioned it, you should not be able to give or receive +1 to or from players on your freinds list. (i see op spoke of it)

Today I two K9 units in one game, I'm not great at this game so this was a major achievement for me but guess what??? The stupid host dashboards and the host migration fails. Hosts who Dashboard and ragequit frequently should get blacklisted so they cannot host on public matches and people who stick around even when things are tough definately need to be rewarded.
